Educare Early Learning Center opens February 2010
Puget Sound ESD’s big news is that our Educare Early Learning Center will open in a month – the last week of February 2010! The center will serve as a hub for one of the two Thrive by Five Washington communities, and will offer full-day, year-round Educare services to 32 infants and toddlers and 102 preschool children from income-eligible families. The Center was built through a public-private partnership of funders and stakeholders.
Educare is a nationally recognized, research-based birth-to-five program that incorporates critical quality elements of effective early learning.
As a “Center of Excellence,” the Center will be devoted to early learning best practices, family support innovation and the professional development of child care and early learning professionals as well as informal care providers.
Our Grand Opening Celebration will take place March 27 in the afternoon. Plans include an opening ceremony featuring dignitaries and funders, followed by an open house. There will be activities for children and tours for the community, with language interpreters helping to make it a special day for everyone. Please wish us a nice dry day in March!
